At least something hit it...

Not true. It's illegal for something to cost more if you use cash.

I always carry cash. I'm surprised when people don't. Came in handy when the hurricane hit, gas stations only took cash. Cash is also good for negotiation.

I'm sort of with you with housing and education but where I'm in violent disagreement is health. Some are born with a terrible hand and there's little that they can do, on their own, to resolve those issues. It's unacceptable to lose everything for health treatments. People have options with school and housing. People can put forth effort to improve their situation. With health, you can't just get up and move somewhere else to be healthy.

How is this even validated or profitable? Companies ask me for various information all the time and I usually just make it up or use an old #, old zip code, etc. Once they have the data, then how do they make money?

I don't know the real reason but for myself, I actually uninstalled Spotify after I found out about the P2P feature. There was a noticeable lag when I would play online console games and had Spotify open on a PC or laptop. It was never really an advertised feature and it kind of pissed me off that they would do that without a clear notification. Took me a bit to troubleshoot as well. I'm sure it was in the user agreement but come on, who reads that.

Doesn't (or didn't) Spotify do this?

I disagree. A share is worth a portion of the business. That is a defined unit. The share price is what people will pay for a share of the piece of company. Baked into the price is the underlying assets (real value) in addition to the fuzzy speculation piece.

The share prices can be analyzed by looking at the financial reports. True value can be assessed by looking at assets minus liability, debts, dividend payment, etc.

This value per share then is compared to the buying price. There is a lot of speculation built into the price now a days. An investor does not have to buy at this real value + speculation price, the investor can sit it out. People are willing to pay for a share of this company, a non-defined amount, it's the only way to continuously offer a share of the company for sale.

Race baiting comment. Context is key. The article advocates equality and you cherry picked a wikipedia section of a historical and clearly wrong assumption. Look over the wiki and try to find something where Benjamin Rush does not advocate equality, then you can shoot your shot.

Is it even worth it to post now that this article has been up for a few days? Funny how all of these comments just sit there on a server somewhere. Produced. But what value does it add? Will anyone even look at this?

For me it's about the job but I'm sure everyone has their own reasons. I'm secure and don't have to struggle. I apply for jobs and don't hear back, interview and don't get the job, etc. I'd be willing to move somewhere new if I knew I had a job lined up. While savings is good, it's stressful and scary to have no income. It's like holding your breath and eventually panic sets in. Doesn't feel good. I'd love to move to a bunch of different cities but many of those places don't seem to have jobs that fit my background. I'd jump to a new career but not sure I could float the expenses while also saving for the future.

Acids? Like stronger acids than the stomach acid already inside of the human body? I doubt that considering stomach acid damages teeth. Nobody would have teeth left.

Large protein consumption? Like what many many people do for health reasons, keto, body builders, etc? People in prime health condition?

And what about fructose malabsorption with certain fruits and vegatables? Some people can't eat certain things otherwise it will make them sick due to this illness.

Go back to reddit with your pseudo science trolling. HN is one of the few decent spots on the internet for discussions and it certainly isn't improved by people like you.

Not a developer but the post mentions an emulator being available, why not use that? If there's a bug, submit a bug report ?

Can't say I have many professional connections either, not a big fan of "networking" in general. However, the people I do consider connections are those from college and those from former groups at previous jobs. Maybe someone from another group, but it's rare. My career jobs have lasted a few years (4-6) so that has provided time to develop these relationships. I suppose it would be much more difficult in the gig economy to establish these relationships. I try to offer value or different perspectives at my jobs that nobody else can. Work hard, deliver, and if I can't... let them know ahead of time and what help is needed. I try to let my work network for me rather than being active about it. Do you have any projects you've worked on? Might be a good source of networking connections, keep up with former coworkers, coffee, lunch, referrals, etc.

> Currently, women are overly vulnerable because they are professionally isolated. They get insufficient legitimate interest.

What do you mean by that?

Yeah, that's what I already do-do but your suggestion doesn't help with any of the situations mentioned in the linked post. The post describes interactions that are non-work related between people.

Work-wise, I have my "go-to" people when I need something done. I don't care what their gender is, I just know they've performed well in the past and get it done in time to help me make my deliverable date. Once a person demonstrates reliable performance of getting the right answer, I don't need to go to others. How does that help solve the problems mentioned in the post? Not really clear to me.
